PLEASE NOTE


  1. The questions below are focused on whether Clydesdale Bank or Yorkshire Bank (“the Bank”) stated that your business should pay or would be liable to pay an “early repayment fee” - see note B below - before the Loan(s) with the Bank was repaid early or restructured, or when an early repayment or restructuring of the Loan(s) was discussed or as part of any annual/periodic review by the Bank of the lending terms.

  2. The Bank may have alternatively referred to this “early repayment fee” as an “exit fee” or “charge” or “penalty” or “cost or “break cost” or “breakage cost” or “economic cost” or something similar. In the questions below, for convenience, we use the term “Break Cost”, but the questions apply equally to any of these terms.

  3. The questions below are NOT concerned with when the Loan(s) was first taken out – the focus is on if and when there was an early repayment, or restructuring, of the Loan(s), or a discussion about repaying early or restructuring or as part of any annual/periodic review by the Bank of the lending terms, i.e. before the end of the term of the Loan(s).
